do you know what i haven't had a glass of pepsi in absolutely forever
just not
clearly that does not like me
what's happening guys dan debenham here today we're going to look at
visual effects specifically this one
effectively these visual effects so simple to do but they do add that little bit of icing
to the top of your project they just help sell stuff and help help sell it to the viewer that
what's happening is actually happening and is is they're part of what's actually happening
and this one this one's a really easy one to do it's really quick and really simple but massively
effective at the same time just it just adds a bit of polish adds a little bit more it's that
that step further than just doing the action um it just gives it that bit more to it so let's dive
into premiere pro and let's have a look and see how we do it okay so now that we've got our clip
in place on our timeline we've got our music and what have you we just need to run through
it just to see where about roughly we're going to put our visual effects so let's do that now
okay so we're going to leave it there where this music drops off so let's go back to the beginning
what we need to do now is marker it out so we've got a rough idea of where things are going to go
from that point on then what we can do is we can adjust them just so that they're in the
right places and we can then start building this visual effect so what i'm going to do
is hit m on my keyboard i'm going to play it and then i'm going to hit him on my keyboard
and that's going to place a marker in the timeline here it's not going to place it
on here because i've got nothing selected so i've not selected either of those two clips
i've just deselected everything so the markers come across the top so here we go
okay so we've got roughly where we think we are with those let's just check these two
so we know we only need one of those because there's only one thing there so let's clear that
selected marker so we right click and clear that what we're going to do is just going to zoom in
slightly so that we can see where we are i'm going to put our playhead where the thing is the beat is
grab the marker so we put our playhead there grab the marker drag it into place
and then we come across here we know that's roughly where it wants to be
so we're going to move our marker in place there again let's listen to this bit
seems all right
now that wants to be a bit further down so it wants to be here so we're going to move this over
we're going to come to these here now we're going to zoom in a little bit further so we can see
what we're doing with these ones so let's have a look so this one really wants to be
a few over has to be a frame over uh this one's about right
maybe if we'll leave that one where it is and that one's fine and that one's a bit early
so maybe we move the marker to there what we'll do then is we'll come out to this one
zoom back in again so we can see i think it's probably a couple of frames early
same with this one i'd say yeah i'd say it's definitely definitely a frame early
frame or two early and that one's probably a tiny bit late
okay so we've got them all in place we're all sorted and we know where we are now so we've got
everything we need to do done what we need now to do is come down to our project bin go to the new
new item and then adjustment layer we're going to leave the settings exactly the same click ok
and then we're going to grab our adjustment layer drag it on to the timeline above the video and the
audio drag it out so it just goes past the markers and that's just to give us a bit of
space so that we know we're working with and then what we're going to do is come to effect
and we're going to type um tell you what let's go to effects and type corsair blur
now for those of you when i find it manually you can uh find it under video effects and
blur and sharpen you just drag and drop it onto the adjustment layer and then you'll see up here
in your effects controls you'll see gaussian blur appear at the bottom so we're going to go
to blurriness we're going to type in a number that we want whatever you want it to look like
play around with that and see what you want it to be like blurrier or less blurry and you may
obviously when you play it back need to change it to either just horizontal or just vertical
and maybe reduce it it all depends on your clip if for me this one i find 30 works pretty well
um so i'm going to now click on the first i'm going to click on the timeline and then click
on the first marker that's going to bring us to the beginning of the clip to where we want to be
i'm going to hit c on my keyboard for the razor tool you can of course get these from the
toolbar the two tools we're going to use today are the razor tool and the
selection tool so i'm going to click for the first one there i'm then going to zoom in even
further and i'm going to hit the right arrow key and i'm going to raise her again and again
and again and again so we've got one two three four one more so we want five in total i'm gonna
hit v on the keyboard or get the selection tool select everything forward of the first razor
and then delete it and everything aft of the last razor and delete it so we've ended it
with these five individual little uh adjustment layers i'm going to select
adjustment layer number clip number two get rid of that and adjustment collect adjustment layer
clip number four and get rid of that so we've got one they've got one three and five um so
once we've done that i can zoom out slightly so i can see a bit more click on the next um the next
markup and i'm gonna select these three clips hold down alt grab them drag them and drop them and i'm
just going to repeat that throughout the whole process of where we want this visual effect to
actually occur you can see that it's not blurred and then blurred as i drag it over grab alt drag
click on it grab alt drag i'm going to miss those out for the moment i'm going to click on that one
and i'm going to drag those to there of course if you don't want to drag
you don't want to do that you can of course click off them
and if you just move it about you'll see a black line appears which is basically where
the playhead should be um and then what we can do is to grab i'll drag on those ones and we're at
the end so what we need to do is just do these four so i'm going to click on this first one
i'm going to come in here like this nope not going to do that i'm going to come in here drag hold
alt and drop like so and i'm going to zoom in a bit further so we can see where we are now if i
click on this second mask marker sorry not mask marker here you can see that it ends where this
last blur of the um adjustment layer finishes we don't want it to continue blurring so we're
going to miss it out and jump to this one um so let's a marker there and move it across again
that happens again so we're going to do the same thing again we're just going to miss those two out
all together so we don't actually need those two markers we'll leave them in place though
just in case we need to make any other further adjustments so we'll go back to the beginning of
a playhead now and then we can play through and we can see exactly what this effect has achieved
ah
so as you can see i used it at the beginning of this video when i had the glass of coke
that nearly killed me um and it can be used for a multitude
of different things it doesn't necessarily have to be for music it can be for actions it can be
just for sounds it can be for anything really special effects you can use on special effects
you can use it on music as well um it can be used in a multitude of different things
it can be used for instagram and all that kind of stuff just to add that little bit more
just a tiny tiny tiny bit more so i hope you did find it useful i hope this
brought something to your project and with that i will see you guys in the next one peace you
